Denna rapport innehåller resultat från en enkät som i november 2016 skickadestill organisationer med social och omsorgsinriktning inom det civila samhället.Frågorna gällde hur dessa organisationer tar sig an frågor om uppföljning, kvalitetsmätningoch utvärdering, kort sagt: deras utvärderingspraktik. Utskicket tilldrygt 1200 adressater gav 416 svar.Sammanfattningsvis visar vår enkätstudie att utvä

This paper introduces the concept of aspirational talk to examine the constitutive features of place brand communication. Aspirational talk builds on a performative view of communication and is characterised by a gap between future-oriented visionary talk and concrete action. The study explores place brand communication as aspirational talk through a qualitative case study of how place branding is

Sorption isotherms describe the relation between the equilibrium moisture content of a material and the ambient relative humidity. Most materials exhibits sorption hysteresis, that is, desorption give higher equilibrium moisture contents than absorption at equal ambient climate conditions. Sorption hysteresis is commonly evaluated by determination of an absorption isotherm followed by desorption sSorption isotherms describe the relation between the equilibrium moisture content of a material and the ambient relative humidity.

The focus of this work is detecting pedestrians, captured in a surveillance setting, and locating them in world coordinates. Commonly adopted search strategies operate in the image plane to address the object detection problem with machine learning, for example using scale-space pyramid with the sliding windows methodology or object proposals. In contrast, here a new search space is presented, whi

En bilds betydelser och funktioner kan ur- skiljas genom dess placering, storlek och utformning. Förutom som beskyddare av vägfarande och mot ond, bråd död, fram- står Kristofferbilden som relaterad till dop, till rumsliga och rituella gränser och till uppvisandet av Kristi kropp. Helgonets bild i Vamlingbo befinner sig i omedelbar anslutning till en nisch i korets nordvägg. Det framstår, med lednThe image of Saint Christopher in the chancel of Vamlingbo Church, Gotland. Sacrament, mobility and boundariesThe aim of the article is to discuss the image of Saint Christopher in the chancel of Vamlingbo Church, Gotland. Since the cult of Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travellers and pilgrims, was mainly based on beholding the saint’s image, and the customary position of Christopher imag

Objective: Patients with degenerative or traumatic meniscal tears are at high risk of developing knee osteoarthritis. We investigated if younger (≤40 years) and older (>40 years) patients with preoperative mechanical symptoms (MS) improved more in patient-reported outcomes after meniscal surgery than those without MS. Design: Patients from Knee Arthroscopy Cohort Southern Denmark (KACS) undergoing

Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors derived from the epithelial cells of the nephron. In recent years the genetic landscape of these tumors has been detailed, leading to progress in mouse modeling of the human disease. In parallel, substantial advancements have been made in describing the transcriptional programs of normal nephron cell types and how they respond to ren

Insect distributions are shifting rapidly in response to climate change and are undergoing rapid evolutionary change. We investigate the molecular signatures underlying local adaptation in the range-expanding damselfly, Ischnura elegans. Using a landscape genomic approach combined with generalized dissimilarity modelling (GDM), we detect selection signatures on loci via allelic frequency change al

Aging entails health challenges globally, but pertinent data from low-income countries like Uganda remains scarce. A cross-sectional study was carried out at Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala, among 134 patients (38% men and 62% women) aged ≥60 years. Data was collected on sociodemographic characteristics, medical disorders, cognitive function, hearing handicap, and functional status, t

Text visualization techniques often make use of automatic text classification methods. One of such methods is stance analysis, which is concerned with detecting various aspects of the writer's attitude towards utterances expressed in the text. Existing text visualization approaches for stance classification results are usually adapted to textual data consisting of individual utterances or short me

Aim: Coffee consumption is inversely related to risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). In contrast, an increased risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) has been reported in heavy coffee consumers, primarily in a subgroup with stronger autoimmune characteristics. Our study aimed to investigate whether coffee consumption interacts with HLA genotypes in relation to risk of LADA. Methods: This po

From early childhood, Hanna, born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy II, has adhered to a standing posture for all her independent locomotion. Aim: To investigate why Hanna in childhood chose to stand and the meaning that standing holds for Hanna as an adult. Method: Single case study of a single person, Hanna, based on her contemporary statements as an adult about her lived experience from childhood, i
